Question

What is a difference between wealth and capital

Answer 1

Capital is wealth that is also economically active.  It is invested in the hope of a higher profit.  People can have wealth but do nothing much with it.  Or put it in a bank, with a fixed return.  (The bank will probably invest it as capital, but for the owner of the wealth that does not matter unless the bank fails.)

Capital and Wealth ... both have a tendency to concentrate............
